Waterloo
Electrician Switchboards, Lighting & Power Points

Need an electrician in Waterloo? Blue Link handles lighting, switchboards, fault finding and emergency calls. Inner West is our home area; Waterloo is part of our Sydney-wide service area. Waterloo has Victorian terraces, public housing towers and new apartment blocks around the new metro station. For transport there's Waterloo metro station. Botany Road is where most locals shop. Key roads include Elizabeth Street and Raglan Street.

Before anything else, the switchboard

The typical Waterloo terrace board we open up has a mix of ceramic fuses and add-on breakers, mounted on a backing panel that predates 1987. Boards made before 1987 can contain asbestos, so they shouldn't be drilled or cut. Rewireable fuses protect the cable, not people, so a fault can go unnoticed until it's serious. We check the board, the earthing and the load, then give you a written quote for the upgrade before any work starts.

Other problems we fix in Waterloo

Stairwell lighting and intercoms in walk-up blocks age badly, and strata committees often want LEDs with sensors. Faulty downlights and tripping circuits are common call-outs in apartments, and we work with minimal disruption to neighbours. Many terraces have lighting circuits with no earth, which matters when you swap old fittings for metal LED ones.
